Spooky Goings On ……… With A Logical Answer

Last night, as Darrell entered our room he said he had suddenly come over all funny, saying that he had felt a very distinct weird sort of sensation as soon as he came in, despite only being on the Diet Coke all evening.
IMG_4635 He said it felt as if the floor was undulating under his feet.
IMG_4641He then tried standing in other spots in the room …… 
IMG_4642……. and could still feel it ……
IMG_4572…… so I stood very still too and yes, I could feel the strange undulations too.
IMG_4646Then Darrell lay on the bed ……. and within a few seconds could again detect some sort of rippling activity, which Nigel confirmed when he decided to join him.
IMG_4647The movement had really lasted too long to be anything of a seismic type nature and we quickly ruled out any kind of spooky spiritual activity by ringing reception and them being able to categorically confirm that the hotel had not been built on top of any medieval plague pits, monasteries or battle fields.
IMG_4645And then Nigel got up and slowly ambled over to the window ….. and pointed out that there was certainly nothing untoward going on in our room, we were in fact right next to the motorway, and all the undulations we could feel were, in fact, the vibration from the heavy traffic that was running alongside. 
Well done Nigel, we could have so easily embarrassed ourselves by asking to be moved to a “more stable” room.  What are we like? But I still can’t help wondering if Darrell is also still experiencing a few of  after effects from Hank and Marvin’s room the other night!!!

Just like being at a major airport?

So there was a logical explanation to it all.

Ack, it still makes us feel queasy just thinking about it! It was the same in our room - next time we're gonna take our seasickness wrist bands with us just in case!

Hugs

Well we felt the earth move too and we were on the other side of the building. Norm was instantly looking up Ley line on his iPad. Hugs Mrs A.

The earth has moved a number of times here recently, but not in a rude way.
